WINE DESCRIPTION
This bright, tangy red wine offers a graceful yet taut profile, with vibrant flavors of strawberry, currant, cranberry, and a touch of mineral notes. The wine leaves a pale finish on the palate, highlighting its refreshing acidity. Made from 100% Rossese grapes sourced from the Riviera Ligure di Ponente appellation, this wine is a true delight. Hand-harvested in the second half of September, the grapes undergo a 15-day maceration period before fermenting in stainless steel vessels. The wine spends 30 days on fine lees and is aged for five months in stainless steel and fiberglass tanks.

ORIGINS
Winery: Laura Aschero
Region: Liguria
Liguria is a coastal region in the northwest of Italy, situated between the Ligurian Sea and the Apennine Mountains. It is renowned for its stunning landscapes, picturesque villages, and of course, its delicious wines.
The history of winemaking in Liguria dates back to the ancient Greeks, who planted vines in the region as early as the 6th century BC. The Romans also cultivated vines in the area, and it is believed that the famous poet Virgil wrote about the wines of Liguria in his epic poem, the Aeneid.
Today, Liguria is home to a number of small, family-run wineries that produce a variety of wines. The region is known for its white wines, which are made from the Vermentino and Pigato grapes, as well as its red wines, which are made from the Dolcetto and Rossese grapes.CUSTOMER RATING
